The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

What really makes little Barty angry is that these goblins in front of him have been playing tricks on him.

As soon as he received Voldemort's order a few days ago, he rushed to Gringotts with the key to the Lestrange family's vault.

But at that time, the goblins rejected his request on the grounds that they could not access the vault with only one key without his permission.

That's fine.

After all, Gringotts does have this rule, but Barty Jr. has been imprisoned for many years so he doesn't understand it.

But when he took a big risk and got Bellatrix Lestrange's autographed permission statement the next day, the other party said that there was no magic fluctuation in the statement and he couldn't tell whether it was Lestrange or not. Ms. Qi rejected him again on the grounds written by Ms. Qi herself.

This is already a bit overwhelming.

Bellatrix was imprisoned in Azkaban, and the alliance agreement between the Dementors and the Death Eaters had not been completely reached. Where could he get a wand and send it to Bellatrix.

And when he racked his brains to get the wand and instructions, and came back for the third time today, the reasons for rejection given by the goblins were even more outrageous.

The other party actually said that today's and tomorrow's reservations were full, and asked Barty to come back another day!

"Damn it, you greedy goblins! Those wizards back then should have made you all slaves like house elves!"

Little Barty cursed wildly in his mind the "high and mighty" goblin in front of him.

Now he can be sure.

These greedy goblins never wanted to allow themselves to take anything from the Lestrange family's treasury!

You’ll know if you think about it carefully.

The Ministry of Magic has no enforcement authority over the criminal vaults within Gringotts.

Now the only two remaining members of the Lestrange family are imprisoned in Azkaban, and there is no telling when they will die.

And once they are dead.

Doesn’t everything in the Lestrange family’s vault belong to the goblins?

It can be said that the goblins are quite skilled at doing this kind of thing.

Almost all the property of those Death Eaters who were purged disappeared in this way.

After thinking about all this, little Barty became even more angry.

He didn't care at all that these goblins had taken over the property of the poor people.

But if it prevents him from taking the gold cup, then absolutely not!

If he can't even complete such a simple task.

His great master would probably be completely disappointed in him!

Shaking his head, Little Barty glared at the goblin behind the counter fiercely and said:

"I'm going into the Lestrange family's treasury today!"

"Unfortunately, sir, I am unable to meet your request. In order to reduce risks, at Gringotts, the number of places that can enter the underground vault is limited every day, and the reservation places for today and tomorrow are all full. "

The goblin glanced condescendingly at Little Barty, with a bit of contempt hidden under his respectful expression, "Not only that, mysterious sir, you are not even willing to show us your legal identity. Sir, you...could it be..." …”

The goblin said no more.

But his hand, which was still writing and drawing on the table, reached under the counter.

"damn it!"

Little Barty cursed angrily.

He could guarantee that the other party was going to press the alarm button under the counter to notify the Ministry of Magic that there was a suspicious person here.

Goblins can definitely do this kind of thing. They are quite shameless and greedy creatures.

"I will come again!"

After saying harsh words, little Barty pulled the brim of his hood and walked out quickly.

He has made up his mind.

Then he brought people over and forced his way into the Lestrange family's vault and took away the gold cup.

By the way, he also wants to teach these hateful goblins in front of him an unforgettable lesson!

Of course, he won't kill anyone.

Voldemort has always regarded the goblins as potential allies. Revenge is revenge, and he cannot disrupt his master's plan.

Just when little Barty was secretly conceiving a revenge plan, a short black shadow passed by him in an instant.

The air flow caused by it slightly lifted Barty's hood, revealing Barty's face full of surprise.

Because the black shadow that just passed by was the goblin who had talked to him before.

Now this guy actually ran out from behind the counter?

'Are you trying to catch me? '

Without any time to think about it, little Barty quickly took a defensive stance.

However, the goblin didn't even pause after passing by him. He threw himself in front of a middle-aged man and woman and said respectfully:

"Mr. Norton, Miss Irene, please allow Griphook to offer you my most sincere greetings!"

As he spoke, the goblin named Griphook bowed deeply, his respectful long nose touching the carpet.

As far as Griphook knew, the middle-aged man and woman in front of him were some of the most wealthy in the American magic world.

This kind of American upstarts who have just come to China are the most stupid and have a lot of money and a lot of tips.

To paraphrase a well-known American upstart who once shocked the entire wizarding aristocracy of the United States with his ability to use money - for people of our level, money has become the most meaningless thing in the world. The thing we need is the best service and respect from people.

It definitely pays to be respectful to these people!

As expected, although the man and woman in the middle just nodded with great arrogance when they saw this, the two people behind them, who were obviously bodyguards or housekeepers, actually threw out a handful of gold galleons.

"Thank you for your reward, Dear Mr. Norton!"

Griphook's eyes shone brightly. As he spoke, he pounced on the gold coins like a vicious dog and began to collect the bouncing gold coins into his arms.

After he was done, he knelt down and tried to kiss the middle-aged man's leather shoes, but was kicked away by the other party.

"Hurry up and lead the way, don't waste my time!"

The middle-aged man said with disgust on his face, as if what he had just kicked was a piece of smelly dog ​​shit.

Griphook, who had just been kicked, was not annoyed. He stood up and apologized to the other party, and then quickly led the group of them towards the inner passage.

Looking at this greedy and humble look, little Barty felt extremely sick in his heart!

But at the same time he noticed.

The place where Griphook took them to seemed to be an underground vault?

Little Barty's eyes lit up under his hood.

A dangerous idea was popping up in his mind.

But at this moment, the team actually stopped when passing by him.

The middle-aged man at the head looked at him quietly.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to lower the brim of his hat, but heard the middle-aged man ask in a very magnetic voice:

"This is……?"

The next moment, before the other party could finish speaking, the fairy Griphook came over and stood in front of him and said:

"Oh, Mr. Norton, this is a shabby guy who wants to come to our Gringotts to enjoy the autumn breeze! This guy staying here is simply damaging our Gringotts' image and dirtying your eyes. I will send someone to him right away. Get away!"

After saying this, Griphook turned around, and the compliment on his face was completely replaced by coldness.

He just snapped his fingers, and three goblin guards in scarlet uniforms came out of the corner and reached out to grab little Barty.

Little Barty originally wanted to continue struggling, but saw a strange light flashing in the middle-aged man's blue eyes.

With just one glance, little Barty had the illusion that his whole person had been completely seen through.

"Danger! Run away!"

The huge sense of danger spread over him, instantly making little Barty become extremely stiff. Every cell in his body was screaming to keep him away from the man in front of him!

After being dragged and thrown onto the street outside Gringotts by the goblins, little Barty shuddered.

He couldn't help but look into Gringotts, but his body kept retreating.

That man just now was too dangerous!

Although the other party didn't take action, the terrifying look in his eyes reminded him of Voldemort for no reason.

Does this mean that another dangerous person comparable to his master has appeared inexplicably in the country of Yu?

His instinct as a slave made him understand that it was the best choice to go back and tell Voldemort everything that happened here.

It's just... this will label him as incompetent in Voldemort's heart!

If you can't even do a small thing like going to the vault to pick up something, how can you be entrusted with important tasks in the future?

Should he try to steal the gold cup again, or go back and report directly.

Little Barty fell into deep entanglement.

At the same time, in Gringotts, Link, who had transformed into a middle-aged man, had a strange expression.

He didn't expect that he would meet little Barty here.

This obviously means that Voldemort and the Death Eaters have also set their sights on the gold cup.

After all, a Death Eater like Barty Jr. who came to Gringotts with the title of a wanted criminal must not just come to Gringotts to get money for Christmas.

Then the problem is coming.

Did they succeed?

Link quickly shook his head.

the answer is negative.

When he used Legilimency to torture Old Barty, Link had witnessed the entire growth process of Little Barty very comprehensively.

Little Barty is a madman, or in other words, a martyr who lives purely for the reputation of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

What would such a guy do if he really got the golden cup from the so-called 'unbreakable' Gringotts?

Of course, just shoot the Dark Mark directly to promote your deeds!

This was a great temptation for little Barty, and he couldn't help it.

And since Barty Jr. hasn't done that now, it means that the other party hasn't succeeded yet.

"Ah!"

Thinking this, Link sneered.

Emily heard the sound and looked over.

Link said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"The hooded man we met just now is Barty Crouch Jr. Let the people outside find him and capture him alive if possible."

As he spoke, a wicked smile appeared on Link's face, "Haha, I'm curious about how Old Barty would react when he meets his unfilial son again."

Emily's eyes froze when she heard this, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded, and then quickly took out a communication gold coin within the Foley family and began to issue instructions to the hunters outside who were originally used for communication.

While Link and Emily were talking, Griphook had already led the group of people into a rough stone corridor.

Several people meandered along the stone corridor hung with torches for a long time, and finally a track that was almost completely submerged in darkness appeared in front of them.

"Dear guests, it is my great honor to introduce to you the Goblin Industry's highest masterpiece and one of Gringotts' treasures, the Goblin Glory Train!"

Griphook pointed at a fiery red carriage on the track that was the size of a small house and said, "Look at this wonderful shape and bright colors! It's all made of gold galleons! Just for the sake of In order for the 'Fairy Glory Train' to display such a natural red color, we used two tons of fire crystals, not to mention that this was a design drawn up by Master Eisman himself. Not only that, but also this wooden door... …”

"Okay, I know this thing is very expensive, but can we leave now?" Newland, who transformed into a butler, pretended to be impatient and interrupted, "Mr. Norton and Miss Irene need to go to Fudge later. It’s my husband’s family dinner, and the reason why I have to go to the treasury this time is to pick out a favorite gift, so please hurry up!”

Griphook, who was still a little dissatisfied with the sudden interruption, immediately became more humble when he heard Newlan's boast, and quickly welcomed Link and others into the carriage.

When it was Link and Emily's turn to get in the car, he even lay on the ground to act as a stepping stone for Link.

Link naturally understood the reason for his doing so and gave Newland a wink. The latter immediately threw out a few more gold galleons, making Griphook smile.

"Dear guests, please sit tight, let's go!"

After picking up the golden galleons, he quickly moved the lever with his hands and feet, and the entire carriage immediately started to turn on, and began to twist and turn in the maze-like corridor, occasionally giving you a dive.

Link and others sat in the splendid carriage and stared at the stalactite pillars passing by quickly outside the window, all feeling a little emotional.

One thing to say, this Lao Shizi's Fairy Glory Train does have some merits.

Even leaving aside the extravagant decoration inside, its stability is unmatched by other vehicles.

Link and the others sat in it and could not feel the pushing force caused by bumps and inertia at all.

The fairy magic engraved on the inside of the carriage perfectly blocked all of this from the outside, giving everyone a relatively still space.

In fact, Link and others could not even hear the sound of wind and rail friction outside.

Of course, this compartment is not without its shortcomings.

Its most fatal flaw is that it has no roof.

The violent airflow stirred up by the high-speed movement of the carriage directly blew the indescribable weird smell from the cave outside into the carriage, making both Si Gefen and Newland look disgusted.

They couldn't understand why the goblins had to design this so-called goblin glory train like this.

But it soon became clear to them why.

Because the carriage rushed straight towards a waterfall under the control of Pull Ring!

"Oh my god! Do you know how to drive?"

"Are you trying to kill us?"

Newland and Si Gefen's expressions changed greatly and they screamed.

But Griphook turned a deaf ear to their words.
